I recently downloaded the emulator and decided to give it a shot on my Wii. I loaded it through Homebrew Channel as told to, with the files all residing within my USB. Whenever I try to save my Options settings, it gives me an error. I cannot even load any of my personal roms from the USB because it gives me a similar error that seems to revolve around the USB. Is there a solution to these errors or is there another way to deal with emulation? I'd prefer the safest way, if possible. x-x Thank you for your time.

The only way I know to load roms is off an SD card. Most emulators are not setup for the USB devices. We can run the program off the USB but the roms dont like to run from it.

U can load roms with wii64 from usb, I have mine set up like that for last 12 months. What is the actual error u r getting? I'm sure in the settings there is an option to change the location of the save from sd to usb, have u tried that?

x-x Well, maybe I can find a way to fit the roms on my old AR SD card...Do you think the rest of the config problems would have to be saved on there, as well?

Also, if anyone else has other ideas/solutions, please say/list them. I'm hoping to find some way to use only my USB since it houses everything else along with it. x-x

Yes, I have tried. It just keeps popping up with errors about being unable to save the settings.cfg or something like that. With the loading, it says it cannot load or read the folder with the roms in it. I followed the instructions to just upload the files from the archive into the root of the USB, added my collection to the proper folder as said to. I cannot understand what is wrong with it now.

Try deleting the settings.cfg

I will give that a shot. But what about the whole loading error? Must I copy everything to a SD card just to load my roms or is there any ideas on that part?

As did I. x-x I just don't get it...I'm hoping someone else knows what's wrong, maybe a Mod or someone who works with emulation a bit more...Or anyone with even the slightest idea or clue! x-x!

Well, sad to find that there is no "settings.cfg" or anything like that in the apps/wii64 folder or in the plain wii64 in the root. Only things in the apps/wii64 is an icon.png, boot.dol and meta.xml. If anyone sees I am missing something, please tell me. x-x Or if anyone has any input, please let me know. I'm dying for some assistance.

There is a modified USB 2.0 version somewhere on here that may work for you...I just need to find it.

Here you go. Try this version and see if you are having the same problems.

Actually most have USB support. It's only a handful of the older non-popular ones that haven't been updated in a long time that will only run from SD.
